Spaghetti in Herbed Tahini and Tomato Sauce

Spaghetti in Herbed Tahini Tomato Sauce! Yes you read it right, I have used Tahini in this sauce. As you know I love to fuse different elements and experiment, with all modesty the outcome was fantastic!  The combination of Tahini, Tomato Sauce and Herbs was creamy and yummy :)

Ingredients

Half Packet Spaghetti

2 Tomatoes

1 tbsp Olive Oil 

Half Red Bell Pepper 

Half Yellow Bell Pepper

Half Green Capsicum

Salt to taste

1 tbsp Tahini

2 tsp Jamaican Jerk Seasoning
1 tsp Rosemary
A pinch of Nutmeg powder
1 tsp Black pepper
1 tsp Paprika powder

1 tsp Red Chilli Flakes

Dill for garishing

Half cup Hot Water

1 cheese cube grated

1 tsp Oregano

Method

Boil tomatoes. Let them cool. Grind them in a food processor to make a fine puree.

Heat oil in a pan. Add tomato puree. Cook for a minute on high flame and then reduce the flame.
Add Jamaican jerk seasoning, rosemary, paprika powder, black pepper powder, oregano, nutmeg powder, red chilli flakes. 

Add salt and cook for a few minutes till the tomato paste thickens. 

Add tahini and fold it well with the tomato paste. Cook for 3-4 minutes. 

Add hot water, give it a boil, add vegetables, add sugar and then cook on low flame for 5-10 minutes. 

Add grated cheese and cook for a minute. 

Add the spaghetti and let it cook till the gravy thickens. 

Add a few olives and mix it well.

Remove it on a serving bowl and garnish with parsley.

Since I didn't have any fresh herbs at home while cooking as it was an impromtu plan, I sprinkled little dill and grated cheese.

You can always taste little and see what is missing and then add seasonings accordingly.
